[ The sound of breathing rocked by small tremors greets listeners as the Forge begins recording. And although it's quiet at first, it does not take long for the soft gasps to become louder, even more frustrated sobs. ]
I... I'm sorry, Mother... I failed you again. How can I call myself a good son when I can't even...?
[ A low growl, and a whimper of the Forge mechanics as they are squeezed tight between leather-clad hands. ]
Big brother, he still won't return to our flock. I tried, Mother!
I really tried... but it wasn't good enough.
[ The voice becomes slightly muffled as the Forge is clutched closer to fabric. Another sob, and the next words are tinged with bitterness. ]
...it's never good enough. What can I do to please you?!
I just want... I want you, Mother!
How can I have a true reunion like this...? With just this?!
[ Abrupt silence... stillness. And then a quiet whisper... ]
......Why won't you answer me?
